Each simulation is 600 observations of 5 varaibles. There are 3 clusters (200 observations each). The standard deviation used is about twice that used in the mclust figure (harder to see cluster seperation).

Principal component space, scaled

Radial tours

The starting basis initialized to PC1:2 of each model. Radial tours created for the top 3 variables.
